In recent years, AI in EdTech has gained significant traction – districts and teachers are recognizing its potential for delivering a personalized learning experience, as well as its ability to reduce teachers’ overwhelming workloads. In this White Paper, Intetics will examine the technology behind AI EdTech, main application areas, the current and future market, industry resources, and much more. Below, you can find an overview of all topics presented in the White Paper.
I. Introduction
The White Paper opens the Whitepaper with an introduction to the topic of AI EdTech (AIED), explaining how it can be applied to the learning process, including determining and monitoring learning processes, providing personalized learning experiences, and understanding students’ strengths and weaknesses. A brief overview is given on what the White Paper will cover. Get a definition of AIED and how it relates to pedagogy. Lastly, the introduction closes with the scope of AIED – a prediction on how this technology can optimize educational costs and improve learning efficiency.
II. Main Application Areas
Dive into several application areas of AIED, and get an explanation of how the technology is suitable for each one: personalizing education, producing smart content, contributing to task automation, providing tutoring, and ensuring accessibility. This section concludes with challenges present within the AIED industry.
III. Technology Overview
Learn about common terms used within the White Paper, including Adaptive Learning Environment, Big Data, Machine Learning, and Neural Networks. Next, the White Paper addresses the three primary categories of AI in Edtech: instructor-oriented, institution-oriented, and learner-oriented. Examples are presented for each category for the reader’s deeper understanding. This section also contains an explanation of how AI in EdTech works, with special attention being paid to 3 AI models: pedagogical, domain, and learner. Lastly, examine the key players involved in the AI EdTech industry.
IV. History of Development
The White Paper covers the history of AIED, starting from the 1960s until the 2000s. Major technological innovations covered include Eliza, SCHOLAR, MYCIN, ITS, BUGGY, and Bayes Nets.
